1146532 2010-10-22 01:55:00 So can anyone condense this whole hoo-haa into a paragraph for me? I haven't kept up with the whole thing. What I think I understand is that the actors' union here thinks actors aren't being paid enough/not given enough rights etc? If yes what's this altercation with Robyn Malcolm and workers etc?? qazwsxokmijn (102)
1146533 2010-10-22 02:38:00 Should be like Singapore when the NTUC unionists get out hand they get pulled on trumped up charges and sent to Changi.

I like that idea Pref.!

What is worse is the fact that there isn't a deceent actor amongst them.

Do remember they could sod off to England and get on with it.

Jackson I think cares for NZ and the result is,you and your pals cause all this trouble.

Jackson cares more about this than those greedy *******s who have ruined the future of NZ cinema.

1146538 2010-10-22 09:59:00 It was a farken Aussie twit that started this mess ..... criminal ..... should have been hung from a high tree in full view of all SAG members and Unionists.

It's getting to the point where any new (or improved) industry that gets off the ground, offers work to kiwi's who NEED jobs, someone, whether they be Unionists or Politicians or Demonstrators without all the facts ... GO STUFF EVERYTHING UP .... utter BS

I personally think Sir Peter is fighting to keep the filming here and pretty sure he was close to braking down in the Campbell Live interview last night. Feel for the guy because he WANTS to help the industry in NZ.

:annoyed:
